Joshua’s House is a hospice shelter for the homeless community. The creation of Joshua’s House has been a long process. Today, we all have been honored, to have admitted our first patient to this so needed facility. It was so breathtaking and wonderful to be the one asked, along with the hospice nurse, to do the admission. It feels like we unlocked the entry gate and are ready for many more patients to be admitted. What an honor.
JOSHUA’S HOUSE
She’s been planning this for years.
Simply; a tribute and an honor
celebrating the life and times
of her grandson, Joshua.
He was homeless and died on the streets.
“That should never happen to anyone!”
She worked hard to build a hospice shelter;
to celebrate Joshua; to give his life meaning.
Today, her dream, so beautifully, did come true.
The hospice nurse and I were so honored
to admit the first patient to Joshua’s House
early this afternoon.
The patient suffers from metastatic cancer.
She has had trouble caring for herself
as becomes short of breath so easily.
In addition, being weak so limits her activity.
Upon seeing her, the first thing one noticed
was her beautiful, wide smile, showing appreciation.
While thanking us for the support, she stated,
“I will do what I need to do.
I will do this my way”.
She unconditionally embraced Grandma’s love.
She totally appreciated the care and support.
We too, say “Thank you Grandma for your hard work.
Thank you, too, for the love you gave Joshua.”
Your grandson has now been reborn;
because; as a result,
forevermore, we have
Joshua’s House.
